Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has sparked widespread discussion following the release of a dramatic behind-the-scenes video from her upcoming film, *Everybody Loves Jenifa.* The clip, which has since gone viral, shows a staged fire engulfing her multimillion-naira mansion during filming, leaving cast and crew scrambling to contain the flames.
What caught many by surprise was Akindele's calm demeanor amid the apparent chaos, a testament to her meticulous planning for the production. Sources reveal that the fire scene was carefully orchestrated in collaboration with the Lagos State Fire Service to ensure safety while achieving cinematic authenticity.
Jubril Giwa, Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Lagos State Governor, confirmed the government’s involvement via a post on X, commending Akindele’s attention to safety protocols during the production.
